Forgive
me if this sounds absurd on the face of it, but I am wondering if,
despite these pieces of evidence, Benedict’s recent entry into Twitter
has had anything to do with the seeming abruptness of his announcement.

The post is titled, "Prayer and Penance: Did Twitter Hasten Benedict’s Retirement?" Elizabeth's take is unique, imaginative and insightful.

I am so grateful you directed our attention to Elizabeth Scalia's post. After reading it, I printed it out and read it aloud to my husband and son (age 20, not a child!). I wept as I read it, a catharsis I needed. I have been so heartened to know that so many are not deceived and love this dear Pope as much as I do. And God bless uou, I read your blog daily.

Are you thinking about becoming a Catholic?

The best place to start is always one of your local Catholic churches. Drop in some Sunday and see what's going on. Then you might speak to the pastor or someone on the parish staff about how they can help you and respond to your questions.
